Please read the following information to help your club plan and execute a fun and successful Club Night!

Cellar

  • See the Delivering Beer page for more details about delivering your beer to the AHA Cellar. (coming in May)
  • No more than 20 kegs per club are allowed into the AHA cellar for Club Night.
  • If your club wants to bring more than 20 kegs, your club is responsible for storing and delivering them to your booth.

Club Storage Room

  • We are hoping to have a lockable room for clubs to store some equipment or decorations.

  • The AHA is not responsible for any items left in this room.
  • You must locate AHA staff to open the room.
  • Availability is first-come, first-served.
  • More info will be released at a later time.

Booths

  • Each club has a 10’ x 10’ booth space. You may not build anything higher than 10′.
  • Your club’s booth will have an 8’ tall pipe and drape behind the booth. This metal pipe allows you to hang banners or other decorations behind the booth.
  • Tents are allowed, as long as they don’t encroach on your neighbor’s space. Play nice.
  • Please bring your own serving equipment, banners, costumes, tools, CO2, etc.
  • Your booth will also come supplied with an 8′ and 6’ draped and skirted table.
  • If you do not need a table, we will place it to the side or let another club use it.
  • Electricity is not provided. You may order electricity directly from Edlen Electrical Exhibition Services once you’ve been given your booth number. HomebrewCon2016_UtilitiesRateSheet
